Where did you order your IVF meds? Tell me about your experience. Any place I should stay away from? Good customer service? Bad customer service? Most imporantly, price! I have a phone consult with the nurse tomorrow so I don't know who they like to use, but I like to have all the info up front so we can get this figured out without completly draining the bank account! Thank you!

Re: OOP ladies/IVF meds
I used Schrafts. They are owned by Walgreens. They are cheaper on some meds but not all. My nurse called around and it ended up being somewhat even (some meds were more at one place, but another was cheaper etc.). There customer service was great and they were very easy to reorder from, add something else, etc. They used Fedex overnight which is free unles you need them on a Saturday and thats $10. B/c you have to sign for them I would have them delivered to my work.
I will use them again for the next IVF if there is a next.
I ordered my stims (Menopur) from ivfmeds.com - they are located in the UK. Great customer service, timely shipping, easy to use website.
The rest of my stuff (estrogen, progesterone, etc, etc) I ordered from MDR pharm in So Cal.

Thoughts from an Overwrought Mind

I use Freedom Fertility (check out their website for pricing). I like them because you can call split your order into as many as you want (buy as you go, so you don't end up with too many leftover meds) and they give you FREE next day delivery. I also like the fact that you can call them in the morning and they will deliver it to you by tomorrow morning. They also have really great customer service.
As far as pricing, I had checked out other places and it's all pretty comparable. Meds from Canada and UK are sometimes cheaper, but it's risky (different level, different dosage units, etc).
I used Scraft (Walgreens) also. Ask them about their cash discount program. Since I paid in full up front they gave me about $100 each follistim cartridge. They were really nice, and when I had to re-order last minute it was no big deal. I did a lot of looking around, and didn't find anything cheeper. (I don't know about their prices on Menapour and Bravelle though
